The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.
An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.
The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.
For example, a scientist wants to see if the brightness of light has any effect on a moth being attracted to the light. The brightness of the light is controlled by the scientist. This would be the independent variable. How the moth reacts to the different light levels (distance to light source) would be the dependent variable.
When results are plotted in graphs, the convention is to use the independent variable as the x-axis and the dependent variable as the y-axis.

Explanation:
Samuel ate some vegetable soup. <u>Digestion</u> process is at work to allow Samuel to break down the soup so that his body will be able to produce energy.
<u>Option: D</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are majorly four steps in food processing in human body, these are ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination. There are six major phases covered by digestion: ingestion, acceleration, mechanical or physical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption and defecation. The first of these procedures, ingestion, relates to the absorption of food via the mouth into the food canal.
Digestive system allow the transformation of massive insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food components to dissolve them into the watery plasma of the blood. Many smaller particles are ingested into the bloodstream in certain species through the small intestine.

Answer:
B. Sexual reproduction
Explanation:
Reproduction in living organisms, which is the process of creating new copies of a particular species, can occur asexually or sexually. The asexual method of reproduction involves only one organism however, the sexual reproduction involved two organisms of different sexes (male and female).
In sexual reproduction, the male organism produces male gametes (sperm) while the female organism produces female gamete (egg). These two sex cells or gametes come together in a process called FERTILIZATION to form one new cell called ZYGOTE, which eventually develops into a new organism.
